Fiat Review

The Fiat 500 has achieved iconic status and been a sales success – but that doesn’t mean it’s a good car. In fact, for a while now it’s been off the pace against city car rivals. So does an injection of electrification finally make it better?

The Fiat 500 is often a two-door, four-passenger, transverse front-engine, front-wheel-drive A-segment city car manufactured and marketed through the Fiat subdivision of FCA since 2007 in hatchback coupé and fixed-profile cabriolet body styles, spanning a single generation — and obtainable in European markets beginning from model year 2016 having its first facelift. The 500 is internally designated since the Type 312 by FCA. Derived in the 2004 Fiat Trepiùno 3+1 concept (created by Roberto Giolito), the 500’s styling recalls Fiat’s 1957 Fiat 500, nicknamed the Bambino — a model that’s designed and engineered by Dante Giacosa with 4 million sold over its 18-year (1957-1975) production span. Translated from concept to production design in the design direction of Frank Stephenson, the 500 features Dante Giacosa’s 1964 breakthrough front-wheel drive breakthrough layout — which ultimately became a market standard, the layout “adopted by just about any other manufacturer inside world” for front-wheel drive

Fiat’s employees have partied hard in 2017, celebrating 60 years since the first 500 was born. As 2017 was coming to an end, we thought it would be good to have our own celebration. Just without the champagne… We were driving, obviously.

2018 MG 3 Review! British Car, Made In China…

First announced in May 2006, Fiat previewed an all new four-seat three-door hatchback 500 model in March 2007 – fifty years after the first Fiat 500 was presented. The design of the 2007 Fiat 500 is based on the 2004 Fiat Trepiùno concept.

The new model features a distinctive retro style – following the pattern of the Volkswagen New Beetle and BMW MINI – as modern reinterpretation of Dante Giacosa’s 1957 original rear-engined Fiat 500. Production started in mid-2007 in Fiat facilities in Tychy, Poland, and later in Toluca, Mexico. Numerous trim, equipment, and performance versions are offered with a convertible body style available starting in 2009.

The Fiat 500 automobile platform is the basis of the second-generation Ford Ka.

Smaller than the already “small” subcompact car segment, the #Fiat500 fits into what is known as the micro-car segment with the Smart ForTwo and discontinued Toyota iQ. The 2019 #Fiat #500Turbo remains the cute little city car it was nearly 10 years ago. A new standard 1.4L #Turbo engine with 135 hp improve baseline acceleration and sounds like a miniature version of the #Abarth. Its too bad this latest version is missing modern safety tech features and still suffers from a poor turning radius and bumpy ride quality.

Fiat’s crossover has all-new look, technology and engines
Refreshed exterior with new LED daytime running lights, LED headlights and rear lights
The cockpit is also updated to integrate more technology, improve ergonomics and refresh interiors
Next-generation three and four-cylinder turbo petrol engines more fuel-efficient than their predecessors

The latest word in connectivity with Uconnect 7-inch HD LIVE touchscreen, with Apple CarPlay integration and Android AutoTM compatibility, as standard
All-new range with two bodies (Urban look and Cross look) and three trim levels – Urban, City Cross and Cross Plus
Available to order now, priced from £16,995 OTR, available with 3 years 0% APR and up to £1,000 deposit contribution for orders up to 30/09/2018

The Fiat 500X, the original Italian crossover, has been updated inside and out with new looks and technology to satisfy a driver’s every needs. It’s available with a choice of three trim levels, Urban, City Cross and Cross, three petrol engines, including two brand new more efficient turbo petrol engines, and now comes with a host of safety assistance systems as standard across the range. The new Fiat 500X is on sale now priced from £16,995 OTR.

Refreshed functionality and more 500 personality

The new Fiat 500X has evolved to become even more modern and functional as it introduces new comfort and safety features, while adding even more 500 family style.
New daylight running lights and LED rear light clusters are standard across the range, bring it even closer to the look of the rest of the 500 family. Standard on the Cross Plus, and optionally available on other trims, are the new LED headlights, made in partnership with Magneti Marelli. The LED daytime running lights give the front of the new Fiat 500X a clear, distinctive visual identity, while at the rear LED light clusters make the car even more recognisable, as well as increasing its visibility and safety on the road. As well as adding unmistakable 500 style, the LED headlights offer more powerful lighting, improving visibility, consume five times less energy than traditional halogens and reduce eye fatigue thanks to daylight-like illumination and covering a wider area. At a speed of 56mph obstacles can be spotted up to four seconds sooner – which is a distance of 100m -than with the standard halogen units.

Reasserting their distinct identities, the new exterior design highlights the two personalities of the model – the new Urban look features an all-new front and rear bumper design to make tackling city traffic chic, while the new Cross look adds new-look protective skid plates for taking on adventures.

Compact outside and roomy inside, its spacious and protective environment is embellished with the use of premium materials, high-quality finishes and handy storage compartments. The comfortable interior is unmistakably Italian in its style, and comes with a choice of seven different finishes in a choice of fabrics and colours, a wide range of seat settings and a roomy boot. The completely restyled cockpit features a new instrument cluster, with graphics that are now even easier to read, together with a new steering wheel which is contoured to ensure better positioning of the driver’s hands, provides perfect grip in Techno-leather upholstery and includes integrated radio controls. The instrument panel maintains its arrangement into three circular elements, in familiar 500 style, blending vintage looks with modern technology. Two analogue dials with speedometer and tachometers are arranged on the sides, while the 3.5-inch TFT display in the middle provides key information to the driver.

Next-generation petrol engines
The new Fiat 500X is the first Fiat model to fit the latest innovative family of turbo engines, designed to strike the right balance for customers between the driving performance and economy. Euro 6D compliant and fitted with Gasoline Particle Filter (GPF), the new turbo engines are the result of over 75,000 hours of virtual tests, 60,000 hours of real-life off-vehicle tests and 5 million kilometres clocked up on roads worldwide to confirm their robustness and reliability.
Developed on a modular structure with 0.33 litre cylinder unit, the new front-wheel drive turbo petrol engine line-up includes a three-cylinder 1.0-litre powerplant that delivers 120hp and 190Nm of torque and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, as well as a four-cylinder 1.3-litre engine with 150hp and 270Nm of torque, in this case combined with six-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (DCT).

https://www.motorbeam.com does a long term review of the Fiat Urban Cross which is based on the Avventura which is in turn based on the Punto. The Fiat Urban Cross might not sell in good numbers but is a car which carries a lot of emotion and has superb driving dynamics. It feels built to last and is priced attractively too.

The Fiat Urban Cross is available with both petrol and diesel engine options, the diesel isn’t the most powerful in the segment but has a superb mid-range whereas the petrol boasts of the most performance as it is powered by Abarth.

So we have another installment to the Brutally Honest Reviews.. and ive been so intrigued to see what these cars are like! But the ‘specs’ and the ‘numbers’ put me off driving one because i thought they would be underwhelming and boring..

Take everything you love about the 500 hatchback and add more space, a nicer cabin, available AWD, and a higher seating position and what you have is essentially the perfect vehicle for the SUV hungry US market. Buyers wanting a small SUV with an Italian name should look no further, but remember that some more mainstream players offer better refinement and practically, while also being less fun.

As buyers continue to move away from small cars, the even smaller micro car segment has taken a huge dip in sales. Which doesn’t help brands like Fiat who came back to the states in 2011 with the pint size 500 hatchback. A full redesign is in the works.

With its retro looks, the Fiat 500 scores big with drivers who want their car to make a bold statement. It’s a case of form over function though, for those with growing families — the 500’s rear seats, and small boot are too small to seat all but the very youngest children in comfort. That said, if practicality is not at the top of your wishlist the 500 is an excellent choice. It has a smart interior and a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines. A new two-cylinder engine, launched December 2010, offers almost 100mpg. Both hatchback and cabriolet versions of the 500 are available, and for those who crave extra performance, a potent Abarth version with 150bhp is also built.

The FIAT 500 has always been both fun and affordable. The 2017 Pop rendition pays tribute to the original FIAT 500 of the 1950s, but in a new package boasting modern styling and techology. Let’s see why this hatchback from Italy has admirers from all over the globe.

Everything about the 2017 FIAT 500 Pop has been stylized to create an impression. This model has 2 doors, 4 seats, and 5-cubic feet of trunk space. With the rear seats down? That expands out to 10-cubic feet. The engine is a 1.4-liter, 101-horsepower machine that puts out 98-lbft of torque.

The 2017 FIAT 500 Pop has a lighthearted nature and isn’t afraid to flaunt its retro styling. The seats feature houndstooth upholstery and are surprisingly comfortable, while the gauges combine old school styling with modern tech.

See the 2017 FIAT 500 Pop in person at your local AutoNation FIAT dealership [https://www.autonation.com] to appreciate it in all its Italian glory.

In Geneva Fiat presented the new Fiat Tipo family. With the new compact car Fiat want to win customers in the market segment that currently is dominated by Dacia. The new Fiat Tipo has a very low base price and shines with a beautiful design. We tested the Fiat Tipo in Turin to find out whether the 2016 Fiat Tipo has more to offer and possibly could even be a cheaper alternative to the VW Golf or the Ford Focus.

When Fiat decided to return to the United States, after a total of 27 years of absence, Fiat knew they had to hit hard! So, in 2012 Fiat introduced the Fiat 500 as their comeback vehicle, and it left quite a few people puzzled. Rather than Fiat wanting to hit a very competitive segment like the compact sedan or compact utility vehicle segment; they went for a much more different approach. They went for the sub compact class and wanted to bring all of their Italian spunk with them. So, let’s see how the 2017 Fiat 500 holds its own, after being in this same generation for over 5 years!

This video will be a full detailed, in-depth look at both the interior and the exterior of the 2017 Fiat 500 in the base Pop trim.

Without a doubt, you will know this car inside and out!
